Designing DNA nanostructures in silico is an exciting way to prototype molecular devices before heading to the lab. But one question frequently halts the creative process for many researchers: How can I turn my design into data suitable for simulation?…

When building molecular presentations, showing how a structure fits together or interacts with another is often as much about visual storytelling as it is about science. But a common pain point for many molecular modelers is creating fluid camera movement…

When setting up a molecular simulation or designing a new protein structure, even small conformational anomalies can lead to poor results or simulation instabilities. One of the most common issues? Residues with unfavorable backbone dihedral angles. That’s where the interactive…

Scientific research often relies on software reproducibility. Whether you’re trying to replicate published work, maintain compatibility with existing tools, or avoid retraining a team, there are good reasons molecular modelers sometimes need older versions of software—even in fast-evolving platforms like…

Creating clear and instructive molecular animations can be challenging, especially when you want to highlight vertical structures or transitions—like showing a ligand moving through a channel, traveling along an alpha helix, or simply scanning through layers of a molecular system.…

For molecular modelers, setting up GROMACS can often be a lengthy and complex process involving multiple dependencies, manual compilation, and configuration. If you’ve ever struggled with installing GROMACS or spent hours resolving compatibility issues, you’re not alone 🎯. Fortunately, SAMSON…

When working with biomolecular simulations, especially in large and complex systems, index groups are essential. They define subsets of atoms in your system and can be used during simulation setup, analysis, or when applying constraints or forces. GROMACS automatically creates…

When designing molecular animations, it’s often not enough to just make things move — you want to be able to capture that motion for playback, export, or deeper analysis. If you’ve ever struggled to precisely reconstruct an animation sequence or…

When presenting molecular simulations or designing compelling molecular animations, controlling the visibility of specific molecular components becomes essential. Whether you’re showcasing the stepwise assembly of a macromolecular complex or highlighting a structural subunit midway through a simulation, managing how and…
